The distance between the two armies was shortening rapidly. Facing the forest of gun formations, the Central Army did not care. In other words, they had completely disregarded life and death at this time. Under Andre's blood- boiling words, they all lost their minds.
I just want to kill all the enemies in front of me.
Thirty thousand vanguard troops vs. two thousand central troops. In such a battle, the vanguard army actually has the advantage in terms of numbers alone. However, victory or defeat is not determined solely by numbers or comparison on the battlefield.
Although the vanguard army has a large number of spears, it is generally not afraid of the charge of a small number of cavalry, especially the light cavalry that lacks defensive capabilities. However, in the face of the central army rushing in like a tide, many soldiers began to feel fear. Formation
There's a little bit of looseness!
Dian Wei discovered this situation, but he didn't say anything. After all, a warrior who has not fought hard is not a truly strong army in his eyes!
These soldiers or people of the former Alton Empire already know that they will never be forgiven by the empire in any case. If they want to survive, they can only hug the thigh of Dragon City. Now, their opportunity has come, as long as the Central Army's
If the myth is broken, then they are qualified enough to leave Alton with the Second Army and go to the mysterious and rich Dragon City!
Close! Close!
The cavalry charged at high speed, time seemed to stop, and every breath seemed to take a long, long time.
Sweat dripped down slowly, and the spear in his hand trembled slightly.
Already able to see the face of the enemy on the opposite side, Andre waved his sword and shouted: "For the Empire!"
Two thousand Central Army cavalry, following his shout, roared again.
"For the Empire!"
The vanguard army also roared under this pressure.
"The great man is mighty!"
This is a slogan learned from the Second Army. Although they may not understand what this big man means, it does not prevent them from cheering themselves up.
"Steady, steady!" the vanguard officer on the front line yelled with all his strength to ease the fear in his heart.
"Throw the spear!" When the distance between the two armies was less than fifty meters, the vanguard reserve waiting in the rear threw the short spear in their hands forcefully.
The sudden blow caused many soldiers of the Central Army to fall off their horses, but it could not cause any slowdown!
"kill!"
The two parties shouted out in unison just before engaging the enemy.
Time stopped at that moment.
The high-speed impacting war horse hit the spear half-embedded in the ground. It only took less than a second for the horse to go from high speed to still.
The soldiers on horseback were thrown away by the huge inertia and continued to hit the spears in the rear row, piercing into their bodies fiercely.
Many spears were also broken by the huge impact, and with the kinetic energy, the owners of the spears were knocked flying.
Along the long defense line, scenes of collisions seemed to have been frozen at that moment.
Did the central army break through the defense line, or did the vanguard army withstand the impact?
Dian Wei stared intently at the battle line. He saw the central army entrenched in the spear formation, and also saw the vanguard army being knocked flying. As if in slow motion, every soldier in the collision had bloodshot eyes and roars.
stand up.
The two rows of soldiers in the front row of the vanguard army were almost all killed or injured in this attack, but the people in the back row still pressed against the backs of the people in front and stabbed forward with their spears. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Central Army
, during the impact, it was like hitting a city wall, and the speed dropped instantly.
Exchange numbers for speed, this is Dian Wei's order to the vanguard.
As long as the speed of the cavalry is suppressed, these Central Army light cavalry will be overwhelmed by the huge advantage brought by the spears and the difference in numbers during the battle.
The current situation is exactly like this. Although in terms of individual capabilities, the vanguard army may not be as good as the central army. But once several people attack them with spears at the same time, they will definitely be unable to resist.
The Central Army, which was trapped in the enemy's position, slowly became passive in the face of a vanguard army that was several times its size.
Andre finished killing a vanguard soldier, but was stabbed in the shoulder by another soldier with a spear. He cut off the wooden spear as thick as a child's arm with a wave of his hand. He had no time to pull out the spear tip on his shoulder and swung it back.
The sword swung away another spear that was stabbing him.
The horses under many Central Army soldiers were killed by the Pioneer Army. The Central Army soldiers who fell off their horses were even more passive. Hundreds of Central Army soldiers were killed in one time. But the number of Pioneer Army soldiers was much smaller!
Andre's body was already covered with wounds, both stabbed by spears and chopped by sword and shield soldiers who joined the battle. He ignored the pain and struggled to kill the surrounding vanguard soldiers.
When Dian Wei saw the brave Andre, he licked his lower lips unconsciously, and his eyes radiated the light of seeing his prey. But now as the leader of an army, he could not let go of his command and fight happily, he could only cry bitterly.
Give up.
Turning around and seeing that the battle situation was getting clearer and clearer, Dian Wei issued a second order.
As the order was issued, the vanguard army began to advance slowly!
More and more sword and shield soldiers in the back row joined the ranks of the besiegers and the central army. The sword and shield soldiers who were better at melee and strangulation were more flexible than the spear soldiers.
Their joining also gave the Central Army forward the last straw.
Finally, when Andre was beheaded by everyone, the half-hour fighting ended.
The vanguard army stepped on the corpses of the central army step by step and advanced towards the bridge entrance.
Ace witnessed the entire battle on the other side. When the last forward was killed, he clenched his fist tightly. Although all two thousand forward soldiers were killed, it bought valuable time for the Central Army.
Using the method of dividing the horses and men, more than 4,000 knights of the Knights dismounted and passed the bridge, and then the horses also passed the bridge. This greatly improved the efficiency.
As long as the bridge entrance is defended, the Central Army can hope to break through under the interception of the vanguard army.
Ace also thought about giving up crossing the river, but if they didn't go across, the expeditionary force might use part of its troops to block the narrow bridge, and then divide its forces to capture Ayr City. This was an unforgivable mistake for the empire, and Ace
Nor was he willing to just give up the opportunity that those two thousand forwards had bought with their lives.
As long as the central army crosses the bridge, even if there are only 5,000 people left, Ace is sure to defeat the vanguard army!
Yes, as long as the number of people exceeds a certain number, the spears of the vanguard army will be defeated, and they will inevitably face failure. This is also because although the vanguard army uses the Dragon City Formation, it lacks supplementary troops.
Secondly, in the final analysis, the Vanguard Army is just a newly formed army. Even a rookie who has seen blood is still just a rookie!
With just two thousand forwards, they almost collapsed. The front line was actually ineffective at the moment of contact. If it weren't for the number of people who strongly offset the speed of the forwards, and the impact was all light cavalry, it would not succeed in the end.
But despite this, the two thousand cavalry also took away the lives of more than three thousand vanguard troops!
If the Central Army can cross the bridge with 5,000 men and launch an attack on the vanguard army, it will only take one wave to penetrate the unfamiliar Dragon City formation, and then trigger the collapse of the vanguard army. And as long as the expeditionary army is defeated, it will
Infantry, then the tightly guarded fortified city will become a place that the expeditionary force must detour. Otherwise, the precious cavalry of the Second Army will eventually be consumed bit by bit by the solid city wall. If possible, the Senate is willing to use each of them to
city in exchange for the casualties of the Second Army!
Ace saw more and more Central Army troops crossing the bridge, and his uneasiness decreased slightly. However, he suddenly thought of something very important, which made his face turn pale instantly, as if his whole body fell.
Into the ice.
Where are the cavalry of the expeditionary force!
Now that the infantry team can appear together with the Central Army, where is the mysterious, cold-blooded and powerful cavalry team?!
Thinking of this, Ace's whole body felt like it had been poured over by water, sweat dripping from his body.
He did not dare to hope that the cavalry was not here at this moment, but he also hoped that they would not be here. When he was looking for a chance to defeat the infantry of the expeditionary force, the enemy might have already regarded them as prey, and they were waiting for the best opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop.
Lay the foundation for victory!
The top priority is to bite the bullet and forcefully cross the bridge. Only in this way can the Central Army have a chance of survival. In fact, if Ace had decisively ordered the team to turn around before and sacrificed the two thousand forwards, the Central Army still had a chance to leave. But for a moment, he softened his heart.
, Ace wasted this best opportunity. And now Ace's decision can be said to have once again pushed the Central Army into the abyss.
In this way, the Central Army wasted its last chance.
As the saying goes, when it is time to cut off, it will be cut off, and kindness will not lead the army. Ace took the Central Army too seriously, so that the loss of two thousand soldiers was a bit unacceptable to him, so he made the decision to make more mistakes.
Just when the Central Army passed through the bridge with more than 4,000 people, behind them, the Second Army's 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry came from a distance in a queue.
Ace looked back, his vision went dark, and he shook. The thing he feared the most happened.
At this moment, the Central Army was attacked from both sides and was divided into two by a wide river!
This was the battlefield carefully selected by Zhao Yun, who divided the expeditionary army into two parts. Dian Wei led 30,000 infantrymen and blocked the south bank of the Central Army with the Dragon City Formation, and used it as a magnet to constantly attract the Central Army to the south bank.
Send troops.
When the number of people reached a certain level, Zhao Yun personally led 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry and launched a charge from the north bank where they had spent earlier, forming a two-sided trap and wiping out the Central Army in one fell swoop!
This plan also accurately calculated the mentality of Alton's central army. From the initial encirclement of the point to call for reinforcements, to Ace's reluctance during the battle across the river, Zhao Yun lured him step by step into the trap he had set.
It can be seen that Zhao Yun's progress is rapid. He now fully meets the basic conditions of an excellent marshal, which is to control the enemy with force.
This is also the progress that Zhou Yunfei has been waiting for for a long time. Maybe Zhou Yunfei will laugh happily after knowing it. Even if the cost is the failure of this war, as long as Zhao Yun can make progress, the rapidly rising Dragon City will not care about this.
After this defeat, Zhou Yunfei is fully capable of building a second army! But Zhao Yun doesn't think so. He will definitely take his expeditionary army and his second army back!
